[bug#63641] [PATCH 3/8] gnu: gnumach-headers: Cross-build without relying on x86.

[Josselin Poiret]

From: Josselin Poiret <dev@jpoiret.xyz>

* gnu/packages/hurd.scm (gnumach-headers): Remove configure flags where we
say the builder is running x86.
* gnu/packages/cross-base.scm (cross-gnumach-headers): Work around limitation
of build system, by manually changing the target host_cpu without relying on
--host, because we don't have a working cross-compiler yet.
